To all parents and/or guardians,
The State of California is requiring that all minors must have 15% of their gross earnings
deducted and placed in approved trust accounts. It is the sole responsibility of the parent
and/or guardian to establish a Coogan blocked trust account.
You are welcome to open accounts at any bank. Tell them that you want to open a blocked
minor trust account under the Coogan Law.
When your child works the payroll company will require you to do two things.
1) Fill out and sign a Trust Fund Deduction Information sheet providing all details about the
account to put the funds into (including the bank routing number and the child’s bank
account number).
2) Provide a photocopy of the passbook, statement or other document from the bank with the
account names and numbers listed. You will need to leave the copy with the production
company each time so make plenty. If you do not remember to bring the copy then you will
be able to send it in later, but it will make life much simpler if you have it with you.
Please note: While 15% is being put into the trust account, you must still list our office on the
pay voucher, as the child’s address so the balance of the payment is properly routed to us for
processing.
Thank you for your prompt attention to these issues.
207 So. Flower St., Burbank, CA 91502 Tel: 661-964-0131 Fax: 866-517-6072
MINOR TRUST DEDUCTION GUIDELINES
Trust deductions for minors are no longer optional: As of January 01, 2000, all unemancipated minors that are residents
of California no matter where they work, and any minor that works in California no matter where they are residents must
have 15% of their gross earnings deducted and placed in approved trust accounts. Payroll companies will require that
certain information be provided to deposit money into the minor’s trust account. In order to make the necessary deposit
you may be required to fill out an authorization form to be left with the production company and provide a photocopy of
the child’s bank account. Please note, however, that no authorization is actually needed to deduct the statutory 15%.
The payroll company will automatically deduct 15% of gross earnings from each minor’s check.
New Coogan Law Information: It is solely the responsibility of the parent and/or guardian to establish the blocked
trust account for their minor child. When the payroll company deducts the 15% required by law and no trust account
has been set up, the payroll company will deposit all monies into a non-interest bearing account. If a trust account is
subsequently set up, then the payroll company will deposit all monies for that minor into that Blocked Trust Account. If
no trust account is ever set up, the payroll company will keep the funds in its non-interest bearing account for up to four
(4) years, at which time it will be turned over to the state. Also, if the payroll company is not aware that the employee is a
minor and payments are processed without deductions the 15%, as soon as the payroll company is notified of minor
status, past deductions due will be recouped from current payments if possible.
What Parents need to Know:
1) Earnings are considered the separate property of the child and cannot be accessed until the child reaches
18 or becomes emancipated.
2) The parent/guardian must provide a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate to the payroll company
indicating that the child is a minor.
3) Even though the Coogan Law requires the parent/guardian to set up this trust account within seven (7) days
after the child’s contract is signed by the minor and employer, the payroll companies request that the blocked
account be set up prior to the minor actually performing the contracted work.
4) The parent/guardian set up such blocked trust account at a bank, savings and loan or credit union and the
account must be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation (SIPC), or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).
5) The parent/guardian must submit along with the attached form, a true and accurate photocopy of any
information received from the financial institution confirming the creation of the account, such as the account
agreement, passbook or a similar writing.
6) If any changes are made to the trust account, including changing the financial institution or account number,
the parent/guardian must immediately notify the payroll company in writing of such changes.
Court Approved Minor Contracts: A parent and/or guardian may choose to have more than 15% deducted from their
minor child’s earnings. This may be done through a court order with the percentage of the child’s salary to be deducted
being placed in a Blocked Trust Account. To insure that the account is in compliance, the court will specify that a copy of
the court order be submitted to the bank along with the first deposit. Until such court order is received the payroll
company will only deduct the 15% required by law.
Other Than California Minors: If the minor child is not a resident of California or working in California, then the
parent/guardian may, on a voluntary basis only, elect to have a percentage of the minor child’s gross earnings withheld
and placed into a Blocked Trust Account in accordance with either a Court Order or by completing a form authorizing the
payroll company to withhold the specific amount desired.
General Information: Once money has been deposited into a blocked account, it cannot be withdrawn without a court
order. Please be sure to let the payroll company know immediately of a check that has a trust deduction, which is wrong
or void. If an error is found subsequent to the deposit, the payroll company will cancel the original check and bill you for
the deducted amount.
Work and Payment Procedures for Extra Work
YOU’RE ALL ACCEPTED! Every child will become active once we receive a copy of the work permit,
and contact information. Your child’s photograph will be placed in our
Talent Listing Directory.
TEXT MESSAGING - All parents MUST have a Cell Phone with text messaging capabilities. We will
contact you for potential jobs by sending you a text message that will refer you to an outside line describing
the work call. Make sure your cell phone is working and you have it with you and on 24 hours a day / seven
days a week. We will need to be able to contact you at all times for call time changes.
DIRECTIONS - All parents must have a Thomas Guide and must have it with you at all times. With a
Thomas Guide you will never get lost looking for a set. If you are "On Line" you can also use Goggle Maps
to print a map of the location that you need to go to. Although we want to help you as much as possible, it is
essential that you are able to look up your own directions to sets. DO NOT USE MAPQUEST.com
WORK PERMITS - Must be up-dated every SIX MONTHS. We must have a COPY ON FILE. You
should keep a copy in your car and in your wallet for emergency situations. We will only arrange work for a
child if we have a copy of your child’s work permit on file. It is your responsibility to keep your child’s work
permit current. We will not contact you if the copy we have on file of your child’s work permit has expired.
You can either fax it to 886-517-6072 or mail a copy to us. If the work permit we have is expired your child
WILL NOT BE CALLED for potential work. If you do not submit a copy of the current work permit we will
put your child in our INACTIVE files.
Always bring your work permit with you to any auditions, interviews, fittings or workdays. Always make sure
you have the work permit signed when you are on the set. A work permit needs to be dated and signed for
EACH day worked. That is, each date you work must be written separately on the back of the work permit.
Do not throw away old work permits as we may need them to get you paid for your work if there was ever a
problem with a payment not arriving.
MINOR TRUST ACCOUNT - As of January 01, 2000, the new Coogan Law provides that all children
MUST have a trust account opened into which the payroll company will deposit 15% of the child’s earnings.
It is the responsibility of the parent and/or guardian to establish the blocked trust account for their child.
Please see our MINOR TRUST DEDUCTION GUIDLINES for further information about this. You must have
this account opened and bring a photocopy of the passbook, statement or other document from the bank
with the account names and numbers listed to leave with the production company. You may be required to
fill out a deduction authorization on the set as well indicating the account to transfer the funds to.
TAXES - You need to evaluate how often your child is working and how much they are making. When a
child earns $139 to $323 for working, it is taxed as though the child makes that every day of the year.
Please consult your tax advisor to see if you should claim EXEMPT from taxes on your child’s vouchers.
UNIONS - If your child is a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) or the American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), make sure we have your membership number on file with us. If and
when you become a member, please call us with your membership number. Children under the age of four
are not required to join SAG. Once a child 4 through 13 has received three COMMERCIAL VOUCHERS on
jobs that PAY SAG EXTRA SCALE, the child will be considered a MUST PAY. Children 14 and over who
receive three COMMERCIAL or THEATRICAL SAG vouchers will be considered a MUST PAY. As a MUST
PAY you will have 30 days to join the SAG or your child can not work on SAG commercials
207 So. Flower St., Burbank, CA 91502
Tel: 661-964-0131 Fax: 886-517-6072
OUTSIDE LINES - When we are working on a project you may be text messaged to an outside line. If
this is the case you must call the number and listen to the information. It will be very specific and tell you
what we are looking for. If you listen to a voice mail and it gives you directions to call the office, or leave a
message, or call the office at a specific time for further details please make sure you do what it says.
Outside lines are our way to communicate fast, effectively and efficiently with our clients. A cell phone
WITH text messaging capabilities is a must to get booked!
ACCEPTING WORK - Only accept work if you have confirmed availability with your child. Make sure your
child doesn’t have special plans at school or that your child doesn’t have some kind of after school activity
that cannot be missed. Accepting work and then canceling causes us, the casting director, and the
production crew to repeat a lot of unnecessary work. You must have reliable TRANSPORTATION and your
child must have a guardian with them for the entire time on the set.
Please communicate with each other. When we give out audition or extra work information, please write all
the information down clearly. Far too many times we give out information to one parent only to have the
other parent call us back hours later because the information was lost or never written down.
Any child who is RECALLED from the set is also required to call us and let us know. If you child is recalled
from the set you must call us immediately. This is extremely important since we need to have a record that
you are working. We are responsible for invoicing production companies to get each client paid and without
the knowledge that you have been RECALLED we will not be able to track payments.
EMERGENCY SITUATIONS - An emergency situation is something that needs to be attended to
promptly to avoid a problem. An emergency would be a situation that may consist of: a parent has no call
time and has not been contacted by anyone to tell them where to go; a parent is not able to find a work
permit; a parent had their car stolen; a child becomes extremely ill; you are going to be late to a set…
anything that is going to detain you from where you are supposed to be at the time you are set to be there.
DO NOT emergency line if a situation is not an emergency! Do not call emergency line if a situation can be
attended to during office hours.
WORK - When taking your child to the set, there can only be one parent/guardian for your child. DO NOT
bring extra people to the set with you! The only people allowed on the set are the children scheduled to
work and one parent OR guardian. If extraneous people show up on the set, the production has every right
to ask you to leave the set. If this happens we will no longer represent you and will drop you from our files.
It is illegal to put someone else’s social security number on a voucher in place of the child who worked. No
matter what a person on a set says when you are filling out a voucher, don’t do it. This is why it is
EXTREMELY important to bring your child’s social security number with you to the set. If you forget to
bring the social security number, call the office and ask us to look it up. It should be correct in the
computer. You should NEVER leave it blank.
When you go to a set you must know the name of the show and the directions. Always check your Thomas
Guide prior to a shoot. YOU MUST BE RESOURCEFUL! Do not rely on us for directions! Map your route
out the night before and make sure your car has enough gas.
When you go to a wardrobe fitting, an audition or an actual booking, the production company will supply a
payment VOUCHER. You must have the VOUCHER signed by someone from the production company.
Any jobs working under the AFTRA union will NOT provide a copy of the voucher for you. Talent will sign
an AFTRA contract before leaving the set but will not retain a copy at that time. This being the case do not
leave the set without the work permit being signed for proof that you worked.
Remember, without a SIGNED voucher you may never get paid. It is your responsibility to get a copy of the
signed voucher back before you leave the set. This is your proof that you worked on the set. If there is a
problem with getting the voucher back or signed, call our office from the set. If there are no vouchers given
to you on the set, call us immediately?
207 So. Flower St., Burbank, CA 91502
Tel: 661-964-0131 Fax: 886-517-6072
DO NOT LEAVE THE SET WITHOUT GETTING BACK A SIGNED VOUCHER! Always keep a copy of the
voucher when given one by the set. When you receive a VOUCHER from a set you must fill the ADDRESS
out with our office address only; NOT YOUR HOME ADDRESS. The check must come to our office first. If
a check is inadvertently sent to your home then do not cash it, send it to our office instead. If we have to
track down payments on a job that you worked because you failed to put our address on the
voucher, or because you cashed a check sent to your home directly by the payroll company, we will
hold off on booking your child again and you will be charged a $10 research/handling fee. Always
write clearly your child’s name and social security number. A voucher that can’t be read is useless and can
keep you from getting paid for the work. If the parent / guardian is booked by us to work on the set, all of
the same rules with regard to vouchers that apply to the child will apply to the parent/guardian. Our
address must be put on the parent/guardian voucher and it will be subject to our standard commissions.
Failure to do so will result in our charging the commission to your child’s check along with the $10 service
charge.
When you arrive at a set you must immediately check in with the Assistant Director (AD). Do not go to the
food truck! Your child has been hired to WORK. You have several responsibilities. These responsibilities
include making sure you have the correct wardrobe and that you meet with the Studio Teacher. WHEN
YOU LEAVE MAKE SURE THE AD SIGNS YOUR VOUCHER WITH AN ‘OUT TIME’. ALWAYS TAKE A
COPY OF THE VOUCHER. DONT LEAVE WITHOUT ONE! If the production company is being invoiced
by our company ask that the AD signs a piece of paper that states your child worked, the name of the
project, start and finish time, the date of the job, a contact number for the company. If you do not get the
voucher signed or you do not get your copy returned, you may never get paid for the work!
HOMEWORK – If your child is missing school in order to work on a set, then your child MUST bring with
him or her at least 3 HOURS of schoolwork. This also includes the proper tools (pens, paper and
assignments). It is a good idea for your child to bring with them a book that they might be reading for fun.
It never hurts to have more work than your child will be able to do. Also, if a Studio Teacher calls us with a
pattern of problems, we will not book your child again.
FOOD - Pack a little lunch. You never know what there will be for your child. STAY AWAY from candy!
Have an orange or a banana for your child. HEALTHY SNACKS!
WARDROBE - Always have the correct wardrobe. Bring extra changes! You should always have at least
THREE to FOUR CHANGES. Stay away from LOGOS, NEON, WHITE, & BLACK. If you are asked to
bring a PROP make sure you have the prop. This might be a backpack or a bike. Do not accept the work if
you do not have the Prop we are asking for!
ON THE SET PROBLEMS - If there is a PROBLEM on the set DO NOT wait until you get home to tell us
about the problem. Contact us from the set. Make sure you speak to someone who can help you prior to
leaving the set. While on the set do not get into an argument with the crew, simply go to a phone and call
our office. We can help you. Keep the office number with you at all times. Do not wait until you get home.
There’s very little we can do to fix a bad situation once you leave the set.
LEAVING THE SET - When you leave a set DON’T FORGET YOUR CHILD’S WORK PERMIT or
anything else you had with you at the set, including your child’s school books and any extra wardrobe that
you brought with you from home! DON’T LEAVE WITH THE CLOTHING THAT YOU ARE GIVEN FROM
WARDROBE. Your child’s work permit must be signed by the teacher before leaving! You must get a
signed voucher before leaving!
PAYMENTS / FEES - Checks are received by our office, deposited and reissued less our commission
fees. Commissions are charged on the total gross pay including all overtime and other compensation.
Payroll is done twice a month only and we will pay out all checks received up to each payroll date.
However, it sometimes takes several weeks for the payroll companies to pay on some shows, so please
allow up to six weeks for payment on all checks.
207 So. Flower St., Burbank, CA 91502
Tel: 661-964-0131 Fax: 886-517-6072
If you get paid directly from the payroll company, do not deposit the check. Send it directly to Kids
Management. Do not sign it, cash it or rip it at the perforations. Send it directly to our office. You will
always be able to tell our check from another company because the check will be from Kids
Management/Background Talent. If you fail to send the payments to us and we have to call you and
the payroll companies trying to track down our commission we will assess a $10 research fee. This
includes failure to forward the checks of parents that we book on shows. If we find that we must repeatedly
chase down our fees after getting your children and/or yourselves booked on shows then we will take you
off of our books.
All parents will be responsible for a processing fee every six months and after your first booking. Up-dates
are due twice a year; June and December. If your up-dates are not returned your child will be placed in the
inactive files and we will assume that you are BOOKED OUT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. If you would like
to be put back on the books you may do so by updating your file and your child’s file will be placed in the
ACTIVE files.
PICTURES – We request that your child updates his or her photo every six months or so. You MUST
email one to us at: [email protected] There is no additional charge for this service. Pictures are
submitted to casting directors and production companies for potential work opportunities. If your child’s
picture is over 6 months old, you are risking fewer opportunities. For children under 1 year we will need a
new picture every four months.
Pictures must meet the guidelines outlined on our website
KidsManagement.com (which also includes a sample picture).
MISCELLANEOUS - If you have general questions feel free to call us. Please be aware, however, that we
are under a huge time constraint to do our daily submissions. When you are calling the office please tell us
who you are, who your child is (FIRST AND LAST NAME) and why you are calling.
If you cancel a job coordinated on your behalf for any reason and we cannot find or do not have time to find
a replacement, we will charge you for the lost commission and may drop you as a client based on the
circumstances and/or your past history with us. Please be mindful that, while we want you all to enjoy this
experience, this is a business and we take it seriously and will only work with people that resect this.
We need babies! If anyone knows any women who are expecting a baby (now or in the future) or knows
parents of twins, triplets, quads, etc., please have them call us if they are interested. If you are a nurse
working in maternity or know one, please call us.
We hope you and your child have a positive experience working in the industry and with our company. See
you in the movies!!!
